check the plug connections and make sure they arent bent and the clip is plugged in all the way. check the fuse for your taillights and make sure you didnt burn a fuse

OK,
I was looking at the light connector from the car and new Led lights and I dont think they are correct - one of the wire pins "Green" from the leds connects to "nothing" in my OEM harness
See below

Led's connector





Inside:



My OEM/BMW connector inside:




As you can see pins 1,2,4 & 5 are occupied but pin # 3 is empty...maybe this is my problem?

Can someone with LED's lights please check these on your pre-facelift for me before I go thought the pain of returning them back. THANKS>

I had the exact same issue on my 2003 4.6is. I followed this thread, and bam - the parking lights work now.
